KEY FEATURES

SELLER INSIGHT Built at the beginning of the 20th century, Fauld Manor is a handsome country house that occupies a truly enchanting rural setting, just thirteen miles from Derby City Centre. The house sits in over two

and a half acres of the most spectacular gardens and grounds, and also boasts a charming two-bedroom cottage. “It was the sheer beauty of the location and the house that drew both my husband and I to the property twenty years ago,” says Pamela. “And although back then it was in a pretty poor state of repair, my husband could see that with a bit of hard work and imagination it had the potential to be transformed into a quite exceptional family home, and that’s exactly what he did.”

“Absolutely everything needed attention. The rooms had to be replastered, the whole house had to be rewired, the plumbing system had to be overhauled… However, when it came to the interior we wanted to retain its absolute wealth of character and charm and so all of the beautiful original features were restored and enhanced, and we decorated throughout using heritage paint colours and sumptuous fabrics and furnishings. It’s a very imposing house and each of the rooms boast wonderfully grand proportions, but ultimately it’s a really comfortable family home.”

“My husband worked hard to renovate the house and he also did a splendid job landscaping what are now absolutely beautiful gardens and grounds,” continues Pamela. “The outside space was a bit of a bog when we came here, but over time he created manicured lawns, pretty pathways, a large pond area, lots of shrubs and flowers that create colour and interest all year round, and there are also a number of lovely places to just sit out and soak it all in. It’s matured beautifully over the years and so the view from the house is now quite magnificent; it’s a real slice of paradise.”

“It’s so hard to pick a favourite room because they are all so lovely, but I particularly like the two main bedrooms. They are both very large and very elegantly decorated, and they both enjoy tremendous views across the gardens and the trees beyond.”

“What makes the location so very special is the fact that within the hose and indeed the garden you get the feeling of being miles from anywhere, and yet it takes under five minutes to drive into the lovely village of Tutbury, I can be in Uttoxeter in fifteen minutes or Derby in half an hour so I’ve never felt isolated.”

“Adjacent to the main house is Manor Cottage, a very elegant two-bedroom dwelling that was built in exactly the same style as the manor. It’s very spacious and we used it to accommodate our housekeeper, but it could be ideal for a dependent relative or simply used for visiting friends and family.”

“The house is just stunning and it’s such a warm and welcoming home, but it’s the garden that I think I’ll miss most when I leave,” says Pamela. “It’s a magical place, so beautiful to look at and such a tranquil place to be.”*

KEY FEATURESManor Cottage

Manor cottage is separate to Fauld Manor and is a perfect accommodation for dependant relatives or multi generational family living. The cottage would also be ideal for those who are looking to work from home. Again, this could easily be reconfigured into a home office. Currently, the accommodation includes a lounge featuring a stone fireplace. There is a dining room which then leads through to a well appointed kitchen area, which further leads onto the ground floor bathroom. To the first floor there are two bedrooms and throughout, the cottage features similar architectural features as the main Manor house such as, stone mullion windows and high ceiling Heights.

Planning permission has been granted to make this cottage larger and connect it to the existing garage. Full plans are available upon request but can be searched using planning reference P/2018/01537. This would offer much larger accommodation with a contemporary finish and could further enhance the overall accommodation on offer.

The property is nestled in the centre of 2.57 acres of grounds, there are two electrified gates which serve the property and there is plenty of parking on offer. There is currently a triple garage block with store room over, plus a further separate double garage and the main double garage, which serves the Manor house itself. Parking is available where the garages are located, but also in front of the home. The gravel driveway sweeps past the front of the property to the second gate, giving access back out onto the road. The main gardens are simply breathtaking, with many years of landscaping and planting, offering a floral treat all year round. Immediately to the rear of the property, and accessed off the kitchen is a large flagstone terrace, with electric awning over stone baulestrades. The gardens are then accessed, featuring formal lawns and walk ways, ornamental hedging, a variety of seating areas and a large pond with feature fountain. The gardens are completely private and enclosed and therefore offer a high degree of security and privacy for future buyers.
